Julio Larraz | 80 Circumnavigations of the Sun
Art of the World Gallery, Houston’s leading modern and contemporary art gallery, will feature an exhibit titled “80 Circumnavigations of the Sun” from August 30 to October 19, featuring the work of world-renowned artist Julio Larraz. This exhibit marks the gallery’s second exhibition with the internationally acclaimed contemporary Cuban artist.
“We are thrilled to host Julio Larraz’s latest exhibition here in Houston,” said Mauricio Vallejo, co-owner of Art of the World. “It’s a true celebration of his life, creativity and the many achievements he has made throughout his 80 years.”
Born in Havana, Cuba in 1944, Julio Larraz is celebrated as one of the most prominent contemporary artists of our time. His journey from the vibrant streets of Havana to the prestigious galleries of the world marks a testament to his unwavering dedication to artistic expression. Central to Larraz’s work is his exploration of the human condition—our hopes, our fears, our dreams, and our struggles. His paintings invite viewers into a world where the mundane becomes magical, where everyday objects take on a life of their own, and where the passage of time is suspended in a moment of quiet contemplation.
Titled “80 Circumnavigations of the Sun,” the forthcoming exhibition stands as a testament to Larraz’s enduring legacy – a celebration of his life’s work meticulously curated to traverse the galleries that have served as custodians of his vision. It is a collective homage to Larraz’s “magnum opus,” a symphony of artistic brilliance orchestrated by a maestro at the zenith of his creative powers and is intended to share his transcendent vision with the world. As he celebrates his 80th milestone birthday, Larraz fearlessly explores new ideas and pushes the limits of his imagination, ensuring that his art remains as vibrant and relevant as ever. In a world that is constantly evolving, Larraz stands as a beacon of artistic excellence, reminding us of the transformative power of art to inspire, provoke, and illuminate the world around us. “80 Circumnavigations of the Sun” includes 32 paintings and drawings.
